Disordered.
April 20, 2014
Your anxiety is not poetry.
You are not
waiting to
crumble
beneath the pressure of life.
Your OCD is not art.
The straight lines are not
derived from
insanity
created by fixation.
Your depression is not beautiful.
Striking features are not
caused by
melancholy
released by a broken heart.
Do not equate your words with your nerves.
Realize that your talent is not from madness.
Understand that your beauty is not your sadness.
